Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field]

This invention allows tea leaves harvested by a harvester to
A self-propelled tea leaf plucking machine that transports and stores tea leaves in tea bags using pressure air from a blower.A self-propelled tea leaf plucking machine in which multiple tea bags are arranged on the upper part of the body frame, and tea leaves are stored in each tea bag. This invention relates to a tea bag storage device.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a self-propelled tea leaf plucking machine equipped with a plurality of tea bags as a tea bag storage device is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-27691 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-13777. In these prior art systems, a side frame is provided on the side of the body frame that straddles the tea ridge, in which the blower, prime mover, and drive wheels are placed, and a plurality of tea bags are suspended from the side frame on an auxiliary frame that protrudes from the rear of the machine. The tea leaves harvested by the reaping machine are collected in the take-out gutter, and are passed through the tea leaf feed pipe by the pressure air sent from the blower to the take-out gutter via the blower pipe. It is transported and stored in multiple tea bags.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In the above-mentioned conventional tea bag storage device, the tea bag is suspended from the side of the machine, that is, between the furrows through which the wheels pass, so the tea bag, which swells up as it is stored, moves through the furrow, which is usually about 30 cm. There was a problem with the tea bag coming into contact with the hem of the tea plant, interfering with the movement of the aircraft. Furthermore, since multiple tea bags are attached to the auxiliary frame protruding from the rear of the machine, the overall length of the machine becomes longer by the number of tea bags.
There was also a problem in which it was difficult to turn the aircraft when moving to the next tea furrow.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problems, the tea bag storage device of the present invention has a prime mover, a reaper, and a blower installed on a body frame that is formed to straddle the tea ridges, and extracts the tea leaves harvested by the reaper. A self-propelled tea leaf plucking machine that collects tea leaves in a gutter and conveys and stores the tea leaves in a tea bag through a tea leaf feed pipe using pressure air sent from a blower to a take-out gutter; An outlet for the tea leaf feed pipe is opened on the side of the tea bag storage frame, and a tea bag mounting frame, in which a plurality of tea bags are installed vertically in order at each opening, is attached to the side of the tea bag storage frame so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. The tea bag is characterized in that the opening of each tea bag is sequentially connected to the outlet of the tea leaf feed pipe.

[Effect]

With the above configuration, the tea bag storage device of the self-propelled tea leaf plucking machine of the present invention can load a plurality of tea bags on the upper part of the vehicle body frame, and when one tea bag is filled with tea leaves, the tea bag mounting frame can be slid. Then, the opening of the next tea bag is sequentially connected to the outlet of the tea leaf feed pipe, and the tea bag storage operation can be performed continuously.

【Example】

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. A vehicle body frame consisting of a main body solid frame 1 and a main body telescopic frame 2 is formed in a shape that straddles brown ridges,
This body frame has a structure in which a motor 20 and a speed reducer 21 provided at the side ends of the telescoping frame 2 rotate a frame telescoping screw 19 to adjust the frame width according to the tea ridge width. A prime mover 7 is mounted on the main body solid frame 1, and wheels 5, 6 driven by the prime mover 7 via a transmission 8 are arranged on both sides of the body frame. Further, a steering handle 3a and a front wheel 3b are arranged at the front of the main body solid frame 1, and the direction of the front wheel 3b can be changed by the steering handle 3a. Furthermore, in the main body solid frame 1,
A reaper 11 having a tea leaf conveying device 16 driven by a prime mover 7 and a blower 9 are arranged. The air outlet of the blower 9 communicates with a take-out gutter 14 formed at the rear of the reaping machine 11 via a blow pipe 10, and a tea leaf feed pipe 15 is communicated with and connected to the take-out gutter 14, so that the tea leaves can be fed. The outlet of the supply pipe 15 is opened at the side of a brown bag storage frame 24 arranged at the upper part of the vehicle body frame. A tea bag attachment frame 22 is attached to the side of the tea bag storage frame 24 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction, and is locked in a desired position by a locking pin 23. Brown bag mounting frame 22
The openings of a plurality of tea bags are vertically arranged and installed in order, and the tea bag attachment frame 22 is slidably installed on the side of the tea bag storage frame 24, so that each opening of the tea bags is connected to the tea leaf feeding pipe 15. It is designed to be locked by a locking pin at a position facing the exit. Further, the reaping machine 11 is suspended by a spring 18 whose spring pressure can be changed by an elevator 17, and the reaping machine 11 is further provided with operating handles 12 and 13 that are operated to correspond to irregularities on the upper surface of the brown furrow. ing. The steering operation of the aircraft is performed by operating the steering handle 3a extending near the waist of the worker 26 to change the direction of the front wheels 3b.
A spring 4 is provided between the front wheel 3b and the vehicle body frame to bias the front wheel 3b toward the operator 26. In a self-propelled tea plucking machine with this configuration,
The tea leaves harvested by the reaping machine 11 are collected in the take-out gutter 14 by the tea leaf conveying device 16, and the tea leaves are fed by pressurized air guided from the blower 9 to the take-out gutter 14 via the air pipe 10. Tea bag 25 passes through pipe 15
will be transported and housed. A plurality of tea bags 25 are attached to the tea bag mounting frame 22 with each opening connected and arranged vertically.
are sequentially connected to the outlet of the tea leaf feed pipe 15 starting from the lowest tea bag, and when one tea bag 25 is filled, the locking pin 23 is removed and the tea bag attachment frame 22 is slid one step below the tea bag 25. and store it in the next tea bag 25. Therefore, the filled tea bags 25 can be stored by stacking them vertically in the tea bag storage frame 24 installed on the upper part of the vehicle body frame, which is different from the conventional tea bag storage device in which the tea bags are suspended from the side of the vehicle body. The shortcomings are completely eliminated.

[Effect of the idea]

As explained above, the tea bag storage device of the self-propelled tea leaf plucking machine according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, and therefore can achieve the following effects. (1) Multiple brown bags are stacked vertically on the top of the body frame, allowing stable work without the bags interfering with the movement of the machine. (2) Since the overall length of the aircraft can be shortened structurally, the aircraft can be easily turned during work, improving operability. (3) Multiple tea bags are mounted vertically on the tea bag attachment frame, and the opening of each tea bag is connected to the outlet of the tea leaf feed pipe in sequence, so when one tea bag is filled, the next Switching to a brown bag is easy, and continuous work can be done for long periods of time.
